《史前仪式的力量》是近一个世纪以来第一本从比较角度处理传统秘密社团的书，也是第一本从考古学角度处理的书。布莱恩·海登提供了人种学秘密社团的明确定义和材料签名，展示了他们是如何运作的，是什么激励了他们的组织者，以及他们使用了什么策略来获得他们想要的东西。他指出，传统的秘密社团非但没有为社区的福利而工作，反而成为了为其成员谋取利益的掠夺性组织。此外，与史前仪式被用来整合社区的流行观点相反，海登展示了传统秘密社会是如何制造分裂和不平等的。它们是增加政治控制的关键工具之一，导致酋长领地、国家和世界宗教。海登的结论不仅会让考古学家大开眼界，也会让人类学家、政治学家和宗教学者大开眼界。
The Power of Ritual in Prehistory is the first book in nearly a century to deal with traditional secret societies from a comparative perspective and the first from an archaeological viewpoint. Providing a clear definition, as well as the material signatures, of ethnographic secret societies, Brian Hayden demonstrates how they worked, what motivated their organizers, and what tactics they used to obtain what they wanted. He shows that far from working for the welfare of their communities, traditional secret societies emerged as predatory organizations operated for the benefit of their own members. Moreover, and contrary to the prevailing ideas that prehistoric rituals were used to integrate communities, Hayden demonstrates how traditional secret societies created divisiveness and inequalities. They were one of the key tools for increasing political control leading to chiefdoms, states, and world religions. Hayden's conclusions will be eye-opening, not only for archaeologists, but also for anthropologists, political scientists, and scholars of religion.
